Henry Hecht and Peter Gruenberger jointly offer four separate programs
to train consulting experts who have not yet developed skills or experience
in testifying at deposition or trial. The targeted participants for
these programs, which last one-evening followed by a full day, are academics
and the less experienced experts associated with consulting firms.

FORMAT

Deposition Testimony Skills 101 and 201 and Trial Testimony Skills
101 and 201 programs consist of an evening of interactive discussions
concerning practical tips on testifying at deposition and trial, respectively.
On the next day, we present a full day of demonstrations or hands-on
(learning by doing) workshops that focus on testifying concerning an
expert's damages report.

Deposition Testimony 101 and Trial Testimony 201, respectively, consist
of demonstration depositions and demonstration direct and cross-examination
trial testimony of experienced testifying experts from the host consulting
firm, followed by discussion and critique/feedback.

Deposition Testimony 201 and Trial Testimony 201, respectively, offer
an opportunity for up to 20 participants to be examined in a mock deposition
or trial by the trainers, followed by individualized critique/feedback
from the trainers and the more experienced testifying experts of the
host consulting firm.

MATERIALS

programs, we use a case file focused on an expert's report on damages
in a contract case. For the Deposition Testimony 201 and Trial Testimony
201 hands on programs. we use a different case file focusing on a more
intricate expert's report on damages.
